WEARING TIGER'S EYE WITH RUDRAKSHA

Wearing a combination of Gemstones and Rudraksha is the best way to make the most of it. Rudraksha Ratna Chakra Therapy® (RRCT®) devised by Neeta Singhal, uses both Ruby Gemstones and Rudraksha beads. It is a holistic healing therapy that uses the curative and healing properties of Rudraksha and Gemstones to balance and energize Chakras. In RRCT, we deal only with natural and untreated gemstones. The reason Rudraksha Ratna Chakra Therapy is widely acclaimed by many is that it works on Chakras, the very basis of life, and is a holistic therapy that heals from deep within with absolutely no side effects. In the RRCT setting of a gemstone, as a ring or as a pendant, the bhasma made of the planetary herb is kept inside one tube, and the metal that improves the planetary effects is kept in another tube. In the case of Tigers Eye, Ark Bhasm and metal Tin are used to attract the cosmic power of the Sun. The gemstone is then energized with its precise seed mantra on a specific day to empower it to eliminate all the malefic effects of the planet and reinforce its beneficial effects. Thus, the gemstone becomes a powerful talisman suitable to be worn by any person irrespective of his birth chart.

RECOMMENDING A GEMSTONE BASED ON RRCT

During the consultation, the blocked Chakras that are causing the mental, emotional and physical issues are identified, and limiting beliefs are addressed. Chakras become imbalanced when your thoughts and attitude tend towards fear and negativity when facing challenging situations in life. Blocked Chakras manifest emotional disorders and physical ailments. It is only after blocked Chakras are balanced and activated that you can transform your life of suffering, obstacles, and confusion into love, success, and happiness. As per the Chakra status and concerns of the client, a suitable combination of Gemstone and Rudraksha bead is recommended. The gemstones work on specific Chakras as per the cosmic colour they emit. So Tigers Eye works on Manipura Chakra, and the RRCT Consultant identifies the correct finger position for drawing maximum energy from the stone. Rudraksha and Gems are powerful agents of energy and work on releasing the negative energy stored in the form of stress in the blocked Chakras, thereby activating them and turning them into their natural state.

MANIPUR CHAKRA

‘Manipura’ comes from the Sanskrit roots ‘Mani’ meaning ‘jewel’ and ‘Pura’ meaning ‘City’. It is the city of jewel-like qualities such as self-confidence, bliss, self-assurance, knowledge, wisdom, and the ability to make the right decisions. Also, it is the Chakra that accommodates prana (life force), which is supplied to the other areas of the body. In this Chakra, the native attracts energy from the environment around them and the people they come in touch with. With this Chakra, we attract positive or negative vibes from others. The ruling sense of this Chakra is the mind. Therefore, it is important to keep this Chakra balanced and harmonious. With a balanced Manipura, one controls and masters their mind and sense impressions. All fantasies and illusions are checked and eliminated.

However, when this Chakra is blocked, you lose vigour and give away your powers to others, thinking that the relationship is more important. Therefore, it is essential to keep this Chakra open, which helps you retain your powers and energies.
